This 1996 Fender Custom Shop ’54 Stratocaster comes in a clean Vintage Blonde finish, showing only minimal signs of use for its age. The pickguard and trem cover have been replaced with Chandler pearloid pieces, adding a subtle bit of sparkle while keeping the overall look grounded in ’50s style. Tonally, it carries that classic mid-’50s clarity—bright, punchy, and pleasantly assertive. The neck follows a comfortable ’50s-inspired carve without getting overly large, offering a nicely balanced feel. It’s also outfitted with a reverse trem system, giving the trem arm a uniquely comfortable placement and making it an easy, intuitive part of the guitar’s personality. Comes with the OHSC and COA.
